1
Horse silk
40/1
Has shown little in five career starts, most recently eighth of 10 in bumper at Tramore (80/1) 52 days ago when beaten a circuit out after taking a keen hold. Hood removed for this step up in trip.

Finished last of 9 in a Bumper at Listowel (80/1) 9 days ago, beaten a very long way. Makes hurdle debut with plenty to prove.

Horse silk
2/1
Hit the frame in Points and has placed in both maiden starts. Second of 15 in maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan (4/1) 31 days ago, keeping on strongly despite not being fluent 4 out, held only late on and pulled clear of the rest. That wasn't the strongest race but he's improving and has to be respected.

Horse silk
13/8
Solid enough form when third of 19 in maiden hurdle debut at Naas (16/1), but disappointed when 17th of 22 in bumper at Punchestown (20/1) 157 days ago, going in snatches. May appreciate this step up in trip based on pedigree and would have every chance if back to something like his debut form.

15/2
Point winner was tailed off in hurdle debut before showing significant improvement on reappearance when third of 15 in maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan (28/1) 31 days ago, no surprise given previous point success. May progress further.

Timeform
Successful sole start in points and shaped like a stayer when tenth of 20 in only bumper start at Punchestown (16/1) 156 days ago, lost position 4f out before keeping on again late. May appreciate this step up in trip on hurdles debut and looks a potential improver.
|
Timeform
Showed promise with 2nd at Wexford (21f) and two 3rd places earlier in career. Finished 10th of 11 in maiden hurdle at Listowel (14/1) 11 days ago, running poorly after 6 months off. May be seen to much better effect granted a stronger test of stamina here and looks worth another chance.

Showed little on debut finishing 14th of 18 in a Bumper at Listowel (100/1) 11 days ago when racing off the pace and never threatening. Improvement needed on hurdles bow.

Little shown in two starts, last time 14th of 17 in maiden hurdle at Listowel (250/1) 9 days ago. First-time tongue strap on but needs to improve.

80/1
Ran to a similar level as on debut when fifth of 6 in a 25f maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan (80/1) 45 days ago, not fluent and made no impression. Down in trip but looks one for handicaps.

Forecasts

King Jon Oliver (13/8), Itsallinthegenes (2/1), Obey The Order (9/2), Watchful Protector (6/1), Long Branch (15/2), Another Belter (40/1), Cuguilla (80/1), Walkmethroughit (100/1), Blackwater River (125/1), Apalachiyeats (150/1), Friar Hogan (250/1)

15:35 Tipperary - 6 October 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

WATCHFUL PROTECTOR showed promise over hurdles earlier this year and should appreciate the greater test of stamina back over a longer trip. He looks worth another chance in a weak maiden, with the improving Itsallinthegenes respected along with King Jon Oliver, who would be very interesting if recapturing the form he showed on debut.
